The sky above Xi Qi was deathly silent.
Time and space seemed to be completely frozen at this moment.
The majestic Dharma Form of Yuanshi Tianzun, composed of endless celestial light, remained frozen in place.
His right hand remained in the downward pointing posture, the crystalline finger that was powerful enough to annihilate Quasi-Saint hovering in mid-air, unable to go up or down.
Four terrifying sword energies pierced the heavens and earth, locking him firmly in place. That pure and extreme killing intent was like four inextinguishable marks, nailing his saintly origin to the ground.
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation!
Although it was only the sword energy of four swords, and no real array had been set up, the supreme pressure that only the Four Saints could break was already clearly revealed.
The Tongtian Jiaozhu overturned the table with a single move.
The Twelve Golden Immortals were completely dumbfounded.
Their faces were ashen, and they trembled violently. Looking at the blue-clad figure with his arm around Qin Feng, their eyes were filled with endless fear and confusion.
Uncle Tong Tian...
He actually risked turning against his master for this brat who appeared out of nowhere, and even brought out his Immortal-Slaying Four Swords of Zhuxian!
Why is that?
Just who exactly is this Qin Feng?
However, just when everyone thought this was the limit, something even more disheartening happened to Yuanshi Tianzun.
The moment the Tongtian Jiaozhu finished speaking, "Try touching him."
A faint yet incredibly clear aura, seemingly emanating from the very origins of creation and destiny, silently spread from the direction of the Wa Palace Beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens.
This Daoist aura lacked the domineering and flamboyant nature of the Tong Tian- Piercing Sword Qi; it was as gentle as a spring breeze, so mild it seemed almost nonexistent.
Yet this very Daoist aura, like an invisible chain, gently and precisely wrapped around another core of the Yuanshi Tianzun's Dharma Form.
There was no murderous intent, no warning.
Yes, it's just a way of indicating a stance.
It's as if it's saying, "I'm here too, I'm watching too."
If you move, I will move too.
Nuwa!
The heart of the Yuanshi Tianzun sank completely.
If Tong Tian's appearance only made him feel troubled and angry.
Nuwa's lock left him truly bewildered for the first time.
For the first time in history, his face, which had remained unchanged for millennia and was composed of celestial light, revealed a look that was almost blank.
One Tongtian Jiaozhu is troublesome enough.
Add to that the Saint Nuwa, whose stance is unclear but who is clearly also protecting this kid.
One in the light, one in the shadows, two sages!
They actually dared to go to war with him for the sake of someone he considered an ant!
Yuanshi Tianzun was completely baffled.
Just who exactly is this Qin Feng?
Was he the illegitimate son of the Dao Ancestor?
Or is it the embodiment of the will of the Father God Pangu?
Aside from these two possibilities, he couldn't think of any other being that could have such influence that it would attract two Heavenly Dao Saint of the same level as him to risk everything to protect it!
The current situation is completely out of his control.
They were caught in a dilemma.
This was the first time since Yuanshi Tianzun attained sainthood that he had truly experienced the meaning of these four words.
Take action?
Simultaneously waging war against Tong Tian and Nuwa?
Even if they could win, let alone achieve a Pyrrhic victory, the Chan Sect would inevitably suffer heavy losses, and its Orthodox Lineage would be shaken.
What will he use to cope with the Investiture of the Gods Calamity? And how will he defend against those two men in the West who are eyeing him covetously, ready to plunder at any moment?
To kill Qin Feng, would they risk the fate of the entire Chan Sect, and possibly even trigger a war of saints that would sweep across the entire Primordial World?
No matter how you look at it, this deal is a huge loss.
Can we not take action?
Where does he put his saintly face?
He, the mighty Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the Three Pure Ones, personally descended in his Dharma Form to annihilate an "ant" who had repeatedly challenged the majesty of the Chan Sect.
As a result, he failed to kill anyone and was instead threatened by his own junior brother, while also being secretly targeted by Nuwa.
If he were to slink away like this now, Yuanshi Tianzun would become a laughingstock for the entire Primordial Three Realms for billions of years to come!
The prestige of the Chan Sect will plummet and vanish completely!
Caught between a rock and a hard place!
The majestic Dharma Form of Yuanshi Tianzun remained frozen in mid-air, falling into an unprecedented silence.
In the midst of this suffocating standoff, a voice, tinged with languor yet brimming with mockery, broke the silence.
Standing beside the Tongtian Jiaozhu, Qin Feng completely ignored the oppressive aura of a saint that could crush all the heavens. Instead, he took a step forward and looked up at the Dharma Form in the nine heavens, caught in a dilemma.
He grinned, revealing a set of white teeth that shone brightly in the sunlight.
"Old man Yuanshi, are you still going to fight or not?"
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every living being present.
Upon hearing this, the Twelve Golden Immortals nearly coughed up blood and fainted on the spot.
This is insane!
This kid has really gone mad!
The Tongtian Jiaozhu is backing you up; you should know when to stop.
You actually dare... you actually dare to provoke me?!
Are you afraid that my master will have a way out?
The Tongtian Jiaozhu was also taken aback, then looked at Qin Feng with great interest. Instead of stopping him, he smiled knowingly, as if he was enjoying the show.
Qin Feng showed no sign of stopping. He looked at the silent Yuanshi Tianzun and continued to add fuel to the fire.
"If that doesn't work, just call your senior brother too."
"The four of you come at me together and see if you can break my master's Immortal Slaying Sword Formation?"
These words were like a series of resounding slaps, striking the face of the Yuanshi Tianzun, a face composed of celestial light, from afar.
To kill someone is to destroy their spirit!
The Immortal Slaying Sword Formation cannot be broken by anyone other than the Four Saints.
This is an ironclad rule known throughout the entire Primordial World.
Qin Feng's words were not only a blatant mockery, but also a reminder to Yuanshi Tianzun that even if he summoned his senior brother Taiqing, the two of them would not be able to break his "master's" sword formation!
He even deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of "Master," directly and completely binding himself to the Tongtian Jiaozhu in broad daylight.
This completely blocked all of Yuanshi Tianzun's escape routes.
Qin Feng's words had completely placed him on a raging inferno, subjecting him to relentless burning.
